Full FeedKindle does sheet music: Amazon introduces “Kindle the Muse”
One of the selling points of the Amazon Kindle is being able to eliminate your stacks of books, magazines, and newspapers, into a slim, easy-to-carry device you can take anywhere. When the Kindle DX was announced, its large screen was touted for easier reading of your text materials and also for reading sheet music. However, Amazon didn’t offer any sheet music for download - until now. Amazon, in conjunction with FreeHand Systems, is introducing “Kindle the Muse,” a selection of over 20,000 titles of sheet music available for direct download to any Kindle device.
The “Kindle the Muse” collection is from FreeHand Systems’ Novato Music Press Catalog, which includes American music, classical, and traditional pieces by more than 1300 composers. Prices per piece range from $1.56 to $9.99. You can find the “Kindle the Muse” collection on the main Amazon Kindle storefront. You can also find it by doing a Kindle book search for “freehand” since the sheet music doesn’t have its own subcategory yet. Down the road I expect that Amazon will make “sheet music” its own category as it adds new music catalogs.
